Party Moving for a Change of Venue Must Demonstrate the Change Will Better Serve the Convenience of Material Witnesses

In affirming the denial of a motion for a change of venue, the Second Department explained the criteria:

“The party moving for a change of venue pursuant to CPLR 510(3) has the burden of demonstrating that the convenience of material witnesses would be better served by the change” … . In doing so, the moving party must set forth: (1) the names, addresses, and occupations of material witnesses, (2) the facts to which these witnesses will testify at trial, (3) a showing that those witnesses are willing to testify, and (4) a showing that those witnesses would be inconvenienced if the venue of the action was not changed … . MI v Trinity-Pawling School, 2015 NY Slip Op 00852, 2nd Dept 2-4-15
